You might be curious about how Jim Griffin's one price for roughly all you can eat flat-fee access for online music would work.

Aggregated buying power can produce win-win results that replace battles between customers and sellers, he believes, and if you're in London, England, on October 16, you'll have a chance to find out how that might work because Griffin - the former Geffen Records new media head who now runs Cherry Lane Digital - will be the keynote speaker at The MusicAlly Seminar on that date.

Back during the orginial Naspter hearings on July 11th 2000 (the very ones that promted me me to start boycott-riaa.com) While Lars was whining that "Napster ripped me off" and the RIAA was in full spin modes offering half truths as fact (something they still do), distorting the facts, Jim Griffin was one the few voices who made sense that day. His written testimony is at http://www.62chevy.com/speaksenate.htm . You owe it to yourself to read it. If you are too busy to read it, you can Listen at http://www.boycott-riaa.com/mp3/frictionfree.m3u to an MP3 of the testimony. Or you can Download it at http://www.boycott-riaa.com/mp3/frictionfree.mp3 ( Has some music in the background for some reason. Another interesting speaker that day was Roger McQuinn (us old farts know who he is, he was part of the group the Byrds (Mr Tamborine Man, So You Wanna be a Rock and Roll Star) in the 60's) He testified about his successes on the internet, and how he was making more money than he made when he was signed to a label. (even during the great successes of the Byrds)

Let's just sell individuals blanket licences to allow the use of any and all media via the internet. The customer could simply inform a central copyright clearance office that they have downloaded a song/movie/whatever and that central office would distribute royalties accordingly by percentage of downloads each fiscal quarter. Content owners would register works, users would pay a reasonable fee.

Great Link, scayf!

Since the RIAA and their thugs want to "EDUCATE" the American public about
the "Evils" of piracy with their H.R. 2517
Piracy Deterrence and Education Act of 2003 bill.......I say, all of us post and hand out *our* education with flyers of the contents in your link above. Of course, we would need your permission, first.

Your link says it like it truly is.
It is all the real education anyone in
America really needs about what's going on in the world of digital music and the
RIAA.

Scayf:
Does anyone who is a member of Boycott
RIAA and any of our other helpful affiliates (DMusic is the only one I can think of right now..etc) have your permission to Copy,Paste, Print, and
Distribute flyers everywhere of the contents in your link, PLEASE?
